Re Bureau letter 1/27/61.

Referenced Bureau letter instructed New York and

one ae0 to submit recommendations to the Bureau ἘΤῸ δὰ ees ἐν of attempting to work in

or as a third person for use in connection with

the clandestine contacts between VLADIMIR BARKOVSKY and

CG 5824-S*,

In the past, CG 5824-S* has consistently stated that the basic requirement for any third person being considered for utilization in the apparatus established between himself and BARKOVSKY, must be an individual available for contact at all times in New York City. The purpose for considering the addition of such a third person in this apparatus, according to BARKOVSKY, was to insure that when | CG 5824-S* was not available, he, BARKOVSKY, would still have an established contact in New York City with the Communist Party, USA (CP, USA) available.

As the Bureau is aware, resides and works in Chicago. Presently, he nas no plausible reason to justify eithe or permanent residence in New York City. TD Since ails to meet the basic requirement, that is,

ready availability in New York City, for an tndividual being considered as a third person in tne apparatus ot CG 524-58: and BARKOVSKY, Chicago does not treel it would be 685}

this time to either recommend or submit a biography on

Consideration was also given to the feasibility of recommending other current active informants of the Chicago Office for possible use as a third person in the appar CG 5824-§* and BARKOVSKY. However, as was the case > all of these individuals lacked the basic requirement, above, for their logical consideration at this time. τ χδέοιν Υ1φν ὯΝ fade ζ.- 42..- Bureau (A 8 (dO

was that relating to the moving of his parents to his | residence and their maintenance, In addition, the above ' estimate did not incorporate any of the expenses resulting

CG 134-26 sub B

The above noted balance needed of $1. 000 was ' approved in referenced telephone cal] and furnished to CG 5824-S* on September 19, 1960.

In this original estimate of expenses, it was anticipated that the source would spend approximately seven weeks on ‘this eighth Solo mission, whereas the actual durationof this trip was in an excess of 12 weeks.

However, it will be noted that the only item among the |

estimated expenses which probably did not remain constant

from a five-day stay in New York City upon his return to the

‘United States on December 17, 1960,

On February 14, 1961, CG 5824-S* advised that the dtemized account of expenses set forth in above estimate was a very close approximation of his actual expenses incurred, Only in the instance pertaining to hotel rooms, meals and miscellaneous expenses in Western Europe were his actual expenses probably less than anticipated which resulted from a shorter stay at these points. When he arrived in the

United States on February 17, 1960, CG 5824-S* had in his

possession approximately $250 ,00 of Solo funds, However, during the five-day stay in New York during the period of December 17-21, 1960, which was necessitated by a request of CP, USA leaders for briefing and discussion, the source estimated he expended funds in excess of $275, 00, These expenditures included costs of hotel bill, food, entertainment

of top CP, USA functionaries, transportation and other miscell- '

aneous expenses, In regard to this stay in New York City, no reinbursement was made to the source and none was, requested by

hin, 7

‘CG 5624-8 further advised that although ‘there had been incurred additional expenses on his ‘part in connection

with the maintenance and support of his parents at his Chicago

residence for a period of five weeks longer than anticipated, no additional compensation was being requested from the Bureau,

It 4s the opimion of the Chicago Office that CG 5824-3*

‘undoubtedly spent far more than the total Bureau and CP. USA

CG 134-46 Sub Β

funds at his disposal in connection with the eighth Solo trip and as a result of the extended stay in New York City after his return. Since CG 5824-S* cannot maintain detailed financial records of expenditures on expenses for security reasons and other factors, it 15 extremely difficult for him to make an exact accounting of funds disbursed, Chicago, however, feels that CG 5824-S* did not make any profit on the expense money advanced to him either by the Bureau or fron CP, USA funds and that in fact he may have incurred expenses over and beyond that for which funds were available because of such matters as the additional monies expended on behalf of his parents in Chicago, In the past it is known that he tries to be accurate and honest in his accounting of all ‘such expenses.

With the accounting noted as above, it is felt ‘that CG 5824-S* has satisfactorily justified the expenditures of funds made available to him in connection with the Solo trip. Whether or not such trips could be accomplished more erononi-= cally is a debatable point because emergency situations frequently arise which cannot be anticipated in advance and because of security precautions that must be taken in order not to jeopardize the future of this highly successful opera- tion,

he source advised that the delay occasioned in reporting information regarding this meeting resulted from a temporary misplacement of his notes relating to it which had caused an extensive review of material in his possession.

With the reporting of this meeting, the source advised that all pertinent information in his possession concerning the eighth Solo trip was complete except for a very few miscellaneous items concerning individuals. In addition, the source advised that he still had some published material such as newspapers which he had either brought back with him or mailed back from the Soviet Union. Such material

‘MEETING BETWEEN REPRESENTATIVES OF TRE PEOPLE'S | PARTY OF IRAN ‘AND REPRESENTATIVES OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY, USA, IN MOSCOW, RUSSIA,

| “NO EMBER, 1960. 7

' ‘In November, 1960, Resa Radnanesh, the First Secretary ‘of the People's Party of Iran (PPI); Iradz Iskanderi, a Secre- tary of ‘the National Executive Committee, PPI; and Echean Tabari, a member of the National Executive Committee, PPI, had a discussion with representatives of the Conmunist Party, USA (CPUSA) in Moscow, Kuseia.

Iskanderi acted as the chief spokesman for the PPI and the following is the essence of his remarke:

Tranian Students in the United States |

| There are about 10,000 students in the United States from Iran. Last year approxinately ὦ, 2,000 of these students were sont to the United States by the Iranian Governaent. | Most of the Iranian students in the United States, accordi ng te ᾿ Tekanderi, are against their governnent, despite the differences in their social atatus. | |

Doctor Mohammed Mossadegh, former Iranian Prenier, who led the nationalists, had and still has auch influence upon the students, the intellectuals and some of the middie class of Iran. At a Congress of Iranian Students recently held in the United States, the students adopted a resolution.

. against the present Iranian Government. Most of the students want the Iranian Government to be neutral. They want their goverament to sever its ties with military organizations such as the Central Treaty Organization and 811 other blocs which carry on the cold war policies..

_CPUSA has decided what it will do and advises who it has assigned, further detaile could then be worked out through the Socialist Unity Party in East Germany in regard to con- tacting these students.

Iranian Nationals in the United States

According to Iskanderi, there is a group of Iranian nationals in the United States which is composed of individuals Who supported Mossadegh and believed that the United States would aid them against British imperialism and communism. One Shayegan (phonetic), a former minister in the Mossadegh Cabinet who is now in the United States, is part of a group that is against the Shah. This group was responsible for holding a recent demonstration in front of the United Nations in New York City demanding that free elections be held in Iran.

The PPI, Iskanderi stated, wants the CPUSA to help the Iranians expose the present government with the Shah at its head. The PPI favors a united front with 411 opposition elements in order to take advantage of the present nationalist antigovernnent, anti-United States feeling. Iskanderl emphasized that the CPUSA should help expose the Shah,

Activities of the People's Party of Iran

. Iskanderi said the communists in Iran are growing in

influence among the working class because of the miserable con-

ditions that exist. The PPI is working to unite the Mossadegh |

etre shane an unorganized "stream," which are both in opposition mm 1:) 8 ana

_ Iskanderi stated that they also have a Party in Azerbaijan, the northern province of Iran, which calls itself the Azerbaijan Democratic Party. This Party, which works with the PPI, gives the impression that the province is independent and has its own independent party.

Reurtet 3-3-61, copy furnished Chicago, listing disbursements of Solo funds for the month of February, 1961,

Every effort should be made to trace some of

the currency expended by members of the Communist Party (CP), USA, directly to the funds obtained by the Party from abroad, commensurate with security of our informants. A record of the serial numbers of the currency when it is spent by Party functionaries to pay for CP travel expenses, . medical bills, office expenses and activities could be used as legaily admissible evidence and could be used to corrob-

orate information furnished by our informants. It is entirely possible that: some paid CP functionaries pay: their personal living expenses (rent, telephone, food bills, et cetera) with currency received from abroad, which currency may be furnished them in the form of a salary. |

This matter should be kept in mind when our informants turn over Solo funds to Party functionaries at the request of Party General Secretary Gus Hall.

CG 5824-S# was in Moscow, Russia, for almost three months during which time he surreptitiously obtained an extremely valuable, highly secret . docunent issued by the Soviet Union dated 11-5-60 which sets out point- οι

| |

by-point the deep-seated ideological differences existing between ἮΝ Russia and Red China. Previously unknown conflicts on matters of x3 state between Red China and Russia are also contained in this document.

The Secretary of State and the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, in a total of four recent letters to the Director, have praised , |. highly the valuable intelligence information developed by our informant y\ on this mission.

CG 5824-S*, as a representative of the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA), attended secret meetings convened in the Kremlin by the Com- bo munist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) along with representatives of all communist parties of the world. The proceedings at these meetings i in plotting world domination were covered completely by our informant. {; AS a result, We possess voluminous detailed accounts of daily occur- Ry rences for the three months these meetings were held. Other unusual = Νὰ

accomplishments of this mission include: private remarks of Soviet

Premier Nikita Khrushchev on 10-22 and 12-4-60; consultations with top es Soviet officials which determined that Soviet troops were used to drive τὴ Chinese communists from Russian territory; and the discovery of the μ᾿ existence of an international cadre training school currently being Ξ held in Moscow. εν Ν |

. Memorandum to Mr. Belmont RE: SOLO

100~428091

The SAC, Chicago, by letter dated 2~6-61, recommends: incentive awards of $1,000 each for Special Agents Carl N. Freyman (field supervisor). and John Be{keating (Agent handling informant) for sustained above-average performance and for erformance which has involved the overcoming of unusual difficulties in connection with

jon; _incentive awards of $125 each for stenographers and for sustained above-average periormance ‘$n taking unusually complicated dictation on material furnished by this

informant which was accurately and rapidly transcribed; a personal letter of commendation for Special Agent Richard W

for their excellent over-all assistance in handling the

Olune of material produced by this operation. In addition, he reconm- mended an award of $1,000 for CG 5824-Sx for extraordinary services and ‘accomplishnents on Solo Mission 8 along with a letter of appreciation from the Director to the informant. This letter is to be delivered to the informant by the SAC, Chicago, for perusal and then returned to the Chicago Office and retained in the safe. It was also recommended that consideration be given for inclusion of NY 694-S# in the over-all

incentive awards due to the unit operation of NY 694-55 with CG 5824-Sx,

(We do not agree with this last recommendation. ) ;

OBSERVATIONS :

1. The outstanding information developed as a result of Solo Mission 8 is due in large extent to the excellent and careful planning of this operation both in the field and at the Seat of Government. Prior to the informant's departure on this mission, the Seat of Govern- ment prepared specific targets for the informant to accomplish which were instrumental in our obtaining this outstanding and detailed. information.

2. This information is of inestimable value to the Bureau

and to the Government not only from an intelligence standpoint, but also

in assisting the President and the Secretary of State in determining What our country's current and future relationships will be with the

Soviet Union, Red China, Latin-American nations and satellite countries.

This high volume of detailed information was not available through any other sources, it has not been obtained to this extent by any other

intelligence agency, and represents a most outstanding achievement by 6 °

Memorandum to Mr. Belmont ᾿

RE: SOLO 100~428091

3. Our informant has been invited to attend the 22nd Congress of the CPSU in Moscow during the lattor part of 1961. This fact, plus contacts of our informant with representatives of communist parties of the entire world, assures our continual receipt of up-to-date high~ level intelligence data.

4. Ail information developed from this operation has been disseminated on a fop-scewet basis to top officials of the Government and to appropriate Government intelligence agencies. A recent news release indicates that 411 United States relations with the Soviet Union and Red China, including the possible meeting between President Kennedy and Soviet Premier Khrushchev, will be against the background of the schism between the Soviets and the Red Chinese. The documents obtained by this operation have supplied them with the intelligence : data to properly evaluate the Sino-Soviet dispute.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE DIVISION:

With regard to the foregoing recommendations of the SAC, Chicago, the Domestic Intelligence Division recommends:

1, That Special Agents Carl N. Freyman and John E. Keating be afforded recognition in the form of incentive awards. It is felt, however, that the recommendation of the SAC, Chicago, in the amount of

$1,000 each is rather high and that a more appropriate figure would be $250 each.

| d ' 5. That CG 5824-S be afforded an award in the amount of $1,000, This reconmendation, above and beyond his usual remuneration, ‘is warranted due to unusual danger to the informant's life while he was in the Kremlin: for an extended period of time. It is noted that on this mission ths informant suffered an injury to his hand. He accepted limited treatment from Russian doctors but refused an operation because he feared:he would talk under an anesthetic and reveal his con- nection with the FBI. This medical neglect resulted.in an infection which has required! considerable treatment since the informant's return to this country. #. Zz

6. That NY 694-S: not receive an incentive award at this time as he did not participate directly in Solo Mission Number ὃ. He received an.award as a result of the fourth Solo mission, which he made. In connection with the unit operation of NY 694-S* and CG §824-~Ss,

NY 694-S* recently was afforded an increase of $100 a month in his

regular monthly remuneration,

SA Frederick zX Fox is the Supervisor in ‘Charge of the CPUSA Unit and this case’ was assigned to him up until 12/9/60.

He personally supervised. the innumerable details which preceded Solo Operation 8 which commenced 9/22/60. SA Fox coordinated the preparation of specific targets for the informant on this Solo trip which, to a lirge extent, resulted in the successful completion of the mission. He has followed this case closely on a day-to-day basis and has exercised outstanding judgment to insure that proper action was taken at each stage. During Solo Mission 8, SA Fox,

a

'“ ag Supervisor in Charge of the Unit, gave direction and guidance

to this case which culminated in a cessful operation. He conferred and collaborated with SA in the handiing of current problems as ‘they arose in connection with this eighth

Solo trip, as well as assisting in the preparation and dissemination of material in conjunction therewith. His knowledge of Marxism- Leninism and his knowledge of the activities of the CPUSA on a national and international level are necessary attributes to the successful completion of a major operation of this kind. Because

of such knowledge, SA Fox has very ably discharged his duties, not only in conjunction with this Solo operation, but in the correlation of material received concerning the activities of communist parties throughout the world with other sections of the Bureau handling the particular country involved. In view of the alert, aggressive over-all supervision afforded this case by SA Fox, it ἀξ recommended he be granted an incentive award of $125.

CG 5824-S# departed for Moscow on 9-22-60 with credentials issued by Gus Hall, General Secretary of the CPUSA, identifying the informant as the Chairman of the CPUSA delegation to the November meeting of communist partics in Moscow. He returned to the United. States on 12-17-60. The November meeting was preceded by a four-week meeting of an Editorial Commission of representatives of 26 communist and workers' parties and during this meeting the informant was the keeper of the records. Through planning, it was possible for the informant to prepare for this trip by inserting secret pockets in his clothing. This later proved of great assistance when the informant was successful in surrep- titiously obtaining a 121-page secret document issued by the Soviet Union dated 11-5-60. This document sets out point-by-point the deep- seated ideological differences existing between the Soviet Union and Conmunist China. It also contains extensive information on previously unknown conflicts regarding matters of state between Red China and Russia. The informant, by working long hours at night, meticulously

wrote out in longhand the essence and in many cases exact verbiage of this document. It is believed that this memorandum is the only one in existence in the United States on this highly important subject matter. Among the other items of valuable information obtained on this trip were the following: |

1. List of names and positions of representatives of 26 communist parties of the world represented at the October, 1960, meeting and a list of the names and positions of representatives of the 81 communist parties at the Novenber, 1960, meeting. In most cases. the informant met With heads of delegations at these conferences and discussed matters of interest in the intelligence field. | 2. Furnished details of 21 out of 78 speeches which were made during the three-nonth period.

3. -Furnished the essence of remarks made by Nikita Khrushchev on 10-22-60 and renarks made on another occasion on 12-4-60.

4. Furnished details of an extremely important five-day meeting in Moscow of leaders: of the conmunist parties of Latin-American countries dealing with such items as assistance to Cuba in the case of invasion of Cuba by the United States.

5. Furnished results of contacts in Moscow with reoresentatives from nearly all the trouble spots in the world, including China, Cuba, West Berlin, Korea, Japan and India.

6. Obtained information concerning the existence of an international cadre training school currently being held in Moscow.

7. Through personal consultations with top Soviet officials, deter- mined that Soviet troops were used to drive Chinese communists from ᾿ Russian. territory sometime prior to August, 1960.

8. Furnished details concerning arrangements of financial support

by the CPSU for the CPUSA. ͵

Ι 9. Arranged future meetings with Vladinir Barkovsky, Counsel,

| Soviet Delegation to the United Nations in the United States, for the . purpose of passage of information and transnittal of Soviet funds to

the CPUSA. On 2-12-61 $88,000 was passed to the CPUSA by Barkovsky as

aresult of this arrangenent.

The above examples certainly indicate the extraordinary value of the information developed by our informant during this eighth Solo mission. It is impossible to put a money value on the information received as this type of information is not available through any other Source. This information, which has been disseminated on: a high level, will certainly enhance the Bureau's reputation as the world's leading intelligence agency.

RE: 100. 428091

Role of Special Agent Keating

Special Agent Keating, by continued sustained outstanding performance, guidance, encouragement and dngenious preparation of CG 5824-S* on a day-to-day basis as the Agent handling the informant, has contributed imnuensely to the outstanding results derived. from Solo Mission’ 8. Preparation for this mission began in July, 1960, when the informant returned to this country from Moscow upon instructions from the Russians. ‘The informant's mission that month was cut short since the Russians desired that the informant immediately solicit the support of the CPUSA in behalf of the CPSU in its ideological differences with the CPC. This mission was concluded at the end of January, 1961, after the informant had been exhaustively interviewed to record the highly valuable intelligence information. Outstanding performance by Special Agent Keating was also evidenced by his analysis and channelization of the information. Successful guidance of this informant on a daily

basis seven days a week is extremely taxing on the ingenuity and

capabilities of the handling Agent. This is due to the top positions this informant occupies in. the CPUSA which include being a -menber of

the National Committee, Secretary of the International Affairs Committee and Chairnan of the Control Commission. The outstanding and continued high productivity of this informant is possible to a large extent because of daily encouragement which is necessary for him to continue his dual role in life. The unusual strained conditions under which the informant operates are recognized, shared and effectively coped with by the handling Agent in order to assure that this operation remains successful.

Unusual problens have developed in the operation of CG 5$824-Sx; however, by Special Agent Keating’s being intimately involved in this

‘operation, the problems have been overcome. These problems include

obtaining documents, credentials, transportation, special clothing with secret pockets and setting up a conmunication apparatus. Special Agent Keating was able to keep up the informant's morale and furnish him with good advice on personal problems .due to the death of his wife. There

has been a constant daily problem of keeping the over-all operation of CG 5824-S* going during the past year ‘because the informant is getting older and because his health has not improved. Special Agent Keating

has made numerous personal sacrifices during this period by performing day and night services to the informant and to the Bureau to assure that maximum benefit from this operation was derived for the Bureau. Extended trips to New York City and other cities requiring extended stays at expensive hotels caused Special Agent Keating to incur expenses in excess of per diem allowed by a considerable amount.

Role of Special Agent Freyman

CG 5824-S* was originally developed by Special Agent Freyman. Since he became a ficld supervisor, he has continued to supervise the over-all operation of this informant. He has continued with contacts of the informant, guiding the informant and over-all supervision of CG 5824-S#. On a daily basis he has conferred and collaborated with Special Agent Keating in connection with problens which arose in the handling and guiding of the informant and his activities,

Supervisor Freyman has made a major contribution to giving the over-all operation the continuity Which is necessary for such a ; major operation. He has developed. an outstanding interest and knowledge of Marxism and Leninism which was essential to the continuous program of advancing and operating this informant at the highest possible national and international level.

During this mission the initiative and physical resources of Special Agent Freyman were taxed to an even greater degree than in previous periods due to the more complex nature of the operation and to the many new problems which arose. The supervision of an operation of this intensity, magnitude and duration requires constant attention and planning.

with the return of the informant from the eighth Solo mission, Supervisor TFreyman had to handle a large volume of difficult information which required seven days a week work. The material brought back by the informant necessitated a broad knowledge of the identity, position and spelling of the names of practically each international communist leader in the world. Supervisor Freyman’has performed his responsibilities in an exemplary manner and at a personal sacrifice. 56

Ὃς In order that the Bureau may determine the feasibility

_ of attempting to trace currency expended by members of the CP

‘. to a foreign source, the NYO is of the opinion that the Bureau should be informed of the procedural steps whereby money from a foreign source is transmitted to the CPUSA, and also of the problems that would arise with respect to tracing to a foreign eed source money that passes through the hands of CPUSA functionaries. 4\77

As the Bureau is aware, with the exception of an isolated instance where $50,000 was transmitted to the CPUSA ‘by the CP of China, money from abroad came from the Soviet Union and was delivered to either CG 5824-S or NY 694-S by either ELIZABETH MASCOLO or VLADIMIR BARKOVSKY, With the exception of a recent instance where the money was delivered to NY 694-S in a hollowed-out phonograph case, the money has

| been delivered in paper wrapping. To date MASCOLO and BARKOVSKY

have told.the informant to whom the money was delivered the amount being transmitted.

With respect to handling this money from the -stand- reint of making it available to the NYO for processing and returning it expeditiously to the informant, time is of the . essence. The informants never know when they may ‘be asked Can to produce the money. Depending upon security conditions νά mindful of the possibility that they may be under surveillance ‘by the Soviets - the informants deliver the money to an Agent of the NYO either on the day they receive it or on the following

pr Ones RN A. (4) . v" ἡγέ:.

“ει. | ΞΖ

NY 100-134637-Sub A

When the money is delivered to the NYO a number of clerical personnel are assigned to record on 3X5 cards the serial numbers, etc. on the bills. Recently, when

88,000 was delivered to the NYO in ten dollar bills, 8800 : cards had to be prepared.

| The CPUSA will not accept from the informants bills in an larger than $20. The informants, who usually receive/ MASCOLO or BARKOVSKY $50 and $100 bills, therefore, have the problem of converting these bills into $20 bills. The NYO handles this transaction for the informants through a bank official who is a contact of the NYO.

After the money is recorded, and, when necessary, after it is converted into bills of another denomination, it is returned to NY 694-S, who places it in a safe deposit box, and upon request makes it available to GUS HALL or whon- ever HALL designates to receive it. NY 694-S is of the | \opinion that the money given by him to HALL or CP officials is further "laundered" before it is put into circulation.

In view of the "laundering" process, above described, and the fact that it is not known through how many channels the money moves before being put into circulation for pay- iment of CPUSA obligations, the NYO submits that it is questionable whether the chain of evidence can be preserved Jin tracing this money.

The matter of security is also Anvohed in a money tracing investigation, for merchants, bank tellers, and a number of other individuals must be contacted in order to trace the money in question. It must be assumed that some of these individuals might disclose to ‘the CP the nature of the investigation being conducted by the Bureau. Since only HALL and the two informants are aware of the fact that the Soviets are furnishing money to the CPUSA, the informants might well be suspected of being "the leak."

With regard to the money. ΝῪ 694-S daunders through the aforementioned bank official, this operation is handled on a purely personal basis with the said official. No record of this transaction is made at the bank. However, should it become necessary, to maintain a chain of evidence, that the bank record the numbers of bills given in exchange for Soviet

NY 100-134637-Sub A

wWioney, this operation would necessarily become known to a number. of bank employees. Whether or not the bank officially would be willing to enter into this operation is problematical.

in connection with the tracing of some of the ‘currency expended by members of the CP, USA, there arises a : question of the admissibility of the evidence especially from the time of it heing given to a CP official: by NY 6 An example would be that GUS HALL takes a $10.00 bill from the.som given him ' and pays his lunch with this bill. PHIL BART goes into the same. restaurant, on. the same date, and,in exchange for a $20.00 bill : in payment of his lunch, receives this $10.00, previously given by - HALL. BART then uses the $10.00 bill as part payment of his rent. Since there would be no witnesses available to testify as to what HALL did with the money, and since the chain of evidence would appear to be broken as shown by the above illustration, the value of the information from a corroborative standpoint would seem to be questionable when considering it in relation to the security of the operation. To attempt to make the information admissible would require utilizing the landlord as a witness. This brings in another individual who will be aware of our ‘interest in specific bills as referred to by serial numbers and denominations. Jf through inadvertence on the part of this landlord or other individual, the Communist official becomes aware of this specific interest, the ‘Security of our operation becomes jeopardized.

Although the Bureausthoughts in this matter are well appreciated and felt to have considerable merit, in analyzing the nature of this operation and the difficulty in maintaining a chain of evidence, it is believed that it would not be desirable to change the present procedure utilized by the. NYO in handling this entire operation. The Bureau is requested to reconsider its instructions in light of the above-stated facts and advise if any change in our operation is desirable.

the Bureau and furnished the following information: Ὁ,

On 3/26/61, CG 5824-8 advised ee that pursuant to telephonic arrangements made W a r Barkovsky,,. a member of the Soviet U.N. Delegation, on the evening of 3/25/61, he met the latter at 7 p.m., outside the Willard Theater at 96th and Jamaica Avenue in Queens, following the pattern of previous meetings with Barkovsky. They went by subway to Sutphin Boulevard

and walked from there to the "Fabulous Restaurant" located at 147-04 Hillside Avenue, Queens.

During dinner Barkovsky discussed the following with the informant;

Moscow does not have sufficient information concerning the Kennedy Administration to "make a satisfactory appraisal” of it. It is imperative that more information about the Kennedy Administration be obtained. In this connection, the Council of Soviet-American Friendship, not only in New York, but also in

{ Chicago and San Francisco, has been of no value to the Sovicts. The said Council has lost contact with the Soviet Embassy in “= Washington, Ὁ. C. ᾿

"revitalized" and it would be well to have somebody from this organization in regular contact with the Soviet Embassy - partic Somebody who could furnish important information, such as infor—\ ‘| mation now needed regarding the Kennedy Administration, ‘to the Soviet Embassy.

whether he should make an inquiry of Hoscow regarding the matter . ‘of money for the CPUSA, and the informant told him that he should.

Barkovsky stated that he maintains contact with Alexander Trachtenberg “for quick answers regarding small matters." He said he occasionally sends "a boy" to International Publishers to buy a book or pamphlet as a means of contacting Trachtenberg. Trachtenberg and the boy occasionally meet in a restaurant. This is Barkovsky's way of contacting Trachtenberg for information regarding ‘small matters." He contacts CG 5824-S and NY 694-S only regarding "really important matters."

Barkovsky then said Moscow would like the CPUSA to send 8 five-man delegation to Moscow to attend the May lst celebration there, The delegation should. arrive in Moscow no later than 4/28/61. The CPUSA should pay traveling expenses of the delegation

to Prague, and Moscow would pay the balance of the delegation's expenses. CG 5824-S told Barkovsky he would discuss this natter with Gus Hall. -

Barkovsky further stated that when James Allen was recently in Moscow, he requested that Robert Dunn, head of "Labor Research" and the latter’s wife be invited to Moscow. Moscovy, according to Barkovsky, will invite them provided they pay their own transportation expenses. Moscow will pay for other expenses involved in the trip.

Barkovsky said he would like answers to questions he raised with CG 5824-S regarding whether the CPUSA would send a delegation to Moscow for the May 15 celebration; whether Robert Dunn and his wife would go to Moscow on the terms proposed by Barkovsky; and whether Ssonething would be done to renew contact between the “Soviet Embassy. and the Council of Soviet-American Friendship. At this point, he repeated that it is imperative that Moscow get more information regarding the Kennedy Administration for "correct appraisal" of the said Adminitration.

Barkovsky requested that the answers to his questions be obtained as soon as possible. He said the information requested should be given to Trachtenberg and that on Friday, 3/31/61, he would send "his boy” to Trachtenberg to obtain the said information.

NOTE ON YELLOW:

Records Section has observed that Chicago, in sending in reports from CG 5824-S#, attaches the reports to the letter of tranamittal without designating them as enclosures. When these reports become separated from the letter of transmittal, it is difficult for the Records Section to determine where the reports should be filed. Bulet of 3-20-61 instructed Chicago to change its procedure | as noted above. Chicago letter of 3-29-61 set out that the procedure being followed has been in existence for eight years and that any change in the procedure would involve an additional amount of work for secretarial and clerical personnel. It is felt that the above instructions should make it clear to the Chicago Office that the change required does not involve any substantial increase in work.

_was ‘to, in the future, set out'in the letters of transmittal

the fact that these reports were enclosures and ‘to list. the , a

date of the enclosure and note under copies designated for the Bureau ‘the number of such enclosures.

: In regard to the above, the Chicago Office desires to point out to ‘the Bureau that the procedure presently being utilized is identical with the procedure which has been utilized for over eight years in reporting the information | received from CG 5824-S*,

As the Bureau is aware, CG 5824-9+ furnishes a 4 prolific amount of important information on numerous phases of Communist Party (CP) activity, most of which, because of } its contents, is felt to be sufficiently important το require κι, ae that it be disseminated on an immediate basis to the Bureau aa and other interested offices. .

| In order to carry out the responsibllity entailed in . this dissemination, the present system was adopted and is currently being utilized which facilitates this problem. All the information from this source is received in the form of oral information wher. must be reduced to Uke

In order to prevent a duplication of typing of each and every item furnished, sufficient copies are initially prepared of every oral report. Then a cover page is prepared and stapled to the report setting forth caution paragraphs and other pertinent information such as date reteived and receiving agent. The informant'’s report, which is stapled to the cover page, has always been considered by the Chicago Office as an integral part of the whole and not as an enclosure. The

“Same procedure and reasoning is followed in the assembly and handling of security reports, that is, the cover pages are a attathed to the report and together they are but one serial. f As to the handling of this information by the Chicago Office,

a copy of this cover page plus a copy of a filled in FD 306, "Cover Sheet for Informant Report or Material", is then stapled to the original copy of the informant ‘report in that | . order. This is then placed in the source's A)134 file and a always has been serialized as one complete and distinct

In connection with the present system, the services of one agent are used full time and the services of one steno- grapher are utilized on a near full time basis. However, frequently additional stenographic help must be utilized as an the case when information is being recelved from source regarding a completed Solo mission, In this latter regard, as many as six stenographers have been utilized in a day's period of time to take dictation, transcribe and prepare for dis- semination. The system presently being utilized by Chicago, as proven over the years, has resulted in a great saving of time by agent personnel, stenographers, and clerks.

As indicated previously, the report of the source as stapled to the cover page, is considered by Chicago as one complete inseparable item. If it were necessary to list each of these reports and describe them as enclosures and transmit them to the Bureau and other offices as such, it is felt that a major administrative problem would be encountered by both the Bureau and other receiving offices. Under these circumstances, the receiving office would be furnished separate copies of the cover page plus an equal number of informant reports as enclosures. In some cases, for example, a meeting of the National Committee, CP, USA, or National Executive Committee, CP, USA, the New York Office would ‘receive well over fifty "copies of the cover page and a similar number of copies of the informant's reports for dissemination

_

CG 134=-46- Sub B

in that office to individual and organizational files, To

adopt thesystem suggested by the Bureau would mean that these fifty or more enclosures to New York would each have to be handled individually which would increase the administrative tasks of such office and lead to possible misfiling or even_ loss of such reports.

The adoption of the method listing and describing the reports as enclosures as suggested is not felt by Chicago to be practical in the case involving this source because of the voluminous amount of information furnished,

Recommendation

It is respectfully suggested that Chicago be authorized to continue the current procedure as to the manner of dis- seminating the information received from CG 5824-8*, based on the above comments of Chicago. It is pointed out that the change ‘as proposed by ‘the Bureau would involve a greater

amount of stenographic and clerical duties for Chicago, more

administrative handling in both Chicago and other offices and would be inducive to a greater possibility of misserialization and loss of information. More importantly, this instruction,

Af required, will delay handling of this informant's informa- | tion in many cases as much as two days where lengthy, voluminous dJetters are prepared,

On March 29, 1961, Agent Papich. contacted Dulles and briefly reviewed the material received by us from a sensitive source and disseminated to CIA. Dulles was reminded that the Bureau.already had emphasized the importance of handling our information in a secure manner. He was told that recently some of the,data had been included in a U. S. Intelligence Board (USIB) document Without obtaining clearance from the Bureau; that we recognized no damage had resulted: but, nevertheless, ‘we had to follow a firm policy of restricting use of information without first obtaining the necessary clearance from the Bureau.

We have previously disseminated over 400 pages of ma- terial resulting from this trip. Important points were summarized and supplied to the White House, the Attorney General, Secretary of State, and ‘Director of CIA. In addition, the Director, of

| course, briefed President Kennedy concerning our informant 5824, and his. trips abroad.

| We advised.CIA on the night of April 6th that we would not object to the dissemination of this study providing thé'‘re- cipients were informed that much of the material was obtained by the FBI from highly delicate sources and, therefore, it ‘must be afforded ‘the utmost security; that the study not be dissemi- nated outside the United States and hence no copy should go to the Ambassador in Moscow. We put this restriction on because we are not sure of the security in the Embassy and an examination of this material by the Russians might uncover our informant.

U8 During the course of the meeting of the 31 Communist and Workers Parties held in Moscow, Russia, during November, 1960, the Communist Party (CP) of the Soviet Union provided the various delegations with evenings of piansed cultural relaxation, On one occasion, MORRIS CHILDS, ELIZABETH FLYNN, and other United States delegates to this meeting of . the 81 Communist and Workers' Parties, were taken to a tllet performance at the Bolshoi Téater in Moscow. Normally at such. fanctions, the Soviets took sufficient security precaution to. protect these individuazia from being placed in such a position go that they might be identified,

At the Theater on this particular evening, a nan’ sitting directly ahead of the United States delegation, turned around and in perfect English said to PLYNN, “J know you, ᾿ don't I", and then thia game individual turned to MORRIS CHILDS and remarked “Aren't you Morrie?", CHILDS reportedly responded in Bussian indicating he did not understand the nature of this individual's inquiry, while FLYNN answered very gruffly denying identity, Both CHILDS and FLYNN were outwardly disturbed as 2 reault of the inquiries of thin stranger. :

| wk tew days 1 , the incident at the Bolshoi Theater was ed with TIM;/BUCK, Chairman of the CP of Canada who was also in Moscow for the purpose of attending the meeting of

“the $1 Communist and Workers’ Parties. BUCK responded to the

discussion by saying, "My God, you should have said hello. He is one of yourguys from the 0,5." BUCK then said that this individual. been in | for two years and was now on hia way to Great Britala, supplied no further identification of this individual.

Jt was apparent that the individual observed at the Bolshoi Theater had been away from the United States for a number of years based on the attire he wore whick reflected the styles of seyeral years ago, namely, a double-breasted suit

and a wide necktie bearing a large floral design. He spoke in

perfect English, but zppeared to have an Nastern or New York City type accent, At the time the refusal of recognition was made by FLYNN and CHILDS, this individual seemed very annoyed by the treatment he received.

A source, who has furnished reliable. information wf ! the past, recently "advised as follows: | | : ᾿ In March, 1961, the Communist ‘party of the Soviet id Union ‘(CPSU) transmitted a@ message to the Communist Party (CP) USA, wherein, it was proposed that the ΟΡ, USA consider

sending’ to Moscow, ‘Russia, a few high caliber ‘students who wight attend the International Cadre Training School.

The CP, USA, has been designated by the Attorney. General of the: United: States pursuant to Executive Order 10450.

In this message, it was further: noted that if } necessary, it could be arranged to cut the school term for American students to one year or even six months,, to accomodate them. If necéssary, the subject matter being taught ‘at the school could -be carefully looked into’ and altered so as not to ‘be too divorced from ‘American matters. If the CP, USA desired ‘to send over some teachers for the school, consideration would

be given to possibly including them on the school staff,

The proposal of .the CPSU regarding ‘the above was discussed with Gus Hall, General: Secretary, CP, USA and’ William Weinstone, a member of the National Committee, CP, USA, in late March. At this time it was pointed out that it had been learned that complaints received from Canadian: CP students ‘at the International Cadre Training School had indicated that this school was too academic, that the school spent too much time on matters not of interest to the students and that there had been a shortage of teaching material noted at the school,

During these discussions, it was also pointed out that the CP of Great Britain has not:as yet sent any. students to the International Cadre Training School because they felt that

icharges could be leveled against their Party that the Russians | ‘were training foreign agents, It.:was ‘also pointed out that the money which would have to be spent to finance such students in. this school might better be utilized for conducting Party

schools in the United States. 2 bo © ccna “σ-“ oth OFS / ENCLOSUjx

SEEREE

Following these discussions, Gus Hall concluded that

the CP, USA, would not at this time give further consideration

to the CPSU proposal, Any. further decision on the matter, must

wait until decisions have been rendered by the U.S. Supreme

Court on appeals in the Smith'Act membership cases and on the Internal Security Act of 1950,

In order to resolve whether Travis is the individual observed by CG $824-S# in Moscew, you are instructed to deter- mine from the informant whether he knows Robert Carroll Travis and his wife.

NOTE ON YELLOW CONTINUED:

this unknown individual was from the United States. Buck also stated that the individual had been in Iran for two years and was on his way to Great Britain. Description of unknown man is relatively close to the description of Robert Carroll Travis. Since a determination cannot be made from information in Bufiles as to whether Travie is,

in fact, the unknown individual, it is felt this can be resolved by interview with CG 5824-S#,
